Hello folks:

Whether we have been close to the heart of the AFHS organization
recently or not, to know Heather was to know a true and selfless
volunteer with a infinite passion for genealogy. Those who were
privileged to know her will never forget her warm enthusiasm and
tireless work for our Society. We have suffered an enormous loss.
It is a sad day.

Most recently Heather was the link between our Public Relations
Committee, always serving faithfully on our Board of Directors.
Whenever there was a call for volunteers to staff our display at a
community event we could count on Heather to be the 'first response'.
She did far more than her share to honour her membership in this fine
Society.
It is a very sad day.

On August first she served for the full day with our engagement at Fort
Calgary's Heritage Day. She so enthusiastically helped children and
families create their first family tree. We parted in the afternoon with
Heather expressing concern for her husband Andrew, with never a mention
of any personal health concerns, but anxious to be part of the next AFHS
community outreach.
It is indeed a very sad day.

We will miss you Heather, you have been an inspiration to us all.
Rest in peace.

BILL CAMPBELL

Hi All:

On August 1st I also worked at our AFHS table at Fort Calgary, and once
again experienced the enthusiasm and dedication which was so typical of
Heather Jaremko. So I was truly shocked to see her obituary in today's
Calgary Herald. My condolences to Andrew and to her children and
grandchildren.

We have lost a tireless volunteer and very capable worker in Heather. She
was dedicated to genealogy research. She worked on various AFHS Projects
and Committees as well as serving on the Board. We will miss her indeed.

AFHS Webmaster

I have put a little article up about Heather on the AFHS homepage. http://afhs.ab.ca/ Heather had one AFHS email address coming to her: seminar@afhs.ab.ca.

Heather had one AFHS email address coming to her: seminar@.... Could
someone please contact me privately to let me know who this email should be
going to now?

Many thanks. Wish I had known Heather better - I did not have the pleasure
of working directly with her but my impression of her was of a cheerful,
hard-working individual. Undoubtedly, this is another tremendous blow to the
Society.

On August 1st I also worked at our AFHS table at Fort Calgary, and once
again experienced the enthusiasm and dedication which was so typical of
Heather Jaremko. So I was truly shocked to see her obituary in today's
Calgary Herald. My condolences to Andrew and to her children and
